My Circle

My goal is to interview women leaders doing amazing things in their respective industries.

Each woman interviewed is someone I admire for their personal, social and professional endeavors. I hope you are able to take away at least one nugget of knowledge for your own journey.

“If it is true that we are creating this world, then each of us has the power to heal its woundedness. Citizens, in our capacity to come together and chose to be accountable, are our best shot at making a difference.” – (Block, 2018, p. xi)

New interviews will be posted regularly.
